The idea of the bullet has always sounded fun.
Oh, so it’s a hybrid linebacker-safety who’s big enough to play at the line of scrimmage yet also fast enough to run around on the back end of Ohio State’s defense in pass coverage? It’s somebody who lines up all over the place, causing offensive coordinators fits given their versatility and combination of size and speed? And the position’s name means the Silver Bullets will have an actual bullet among the 11 guys on the field? Cool!
But the theory of the bullet and the conversations about the bullet have far outpaced the bullet’s existence on the field and usefulness to the Buckeyes’ defense.
